"A flexible body?" Xuan Weizi looked at the giant mushroom up and down, activated the Sky Eye sensor, and discovered that the giant mushroom was connected to the surrounding carpet environment. It itself was more like a "forest" than a plant.
Sensing the psychic power in Xuan Weizi Tian's eyes, the giant mushroom slowly retracted its eyeball tentacles. Its plump body swayed like a huge piece of pudding. It had no expression. Xuan Weizi only detected it from the weak mental fluctuations.
There is a hint of hope in it.
"We need to think about it." Xuan Weizi said, "I hope you won't seal the passage later."
"Myon will wait," the giant mushroom replied.
Xuan Weizi led everyone slowly out of the cave, then took out the secret chamber talisman to isolate himself from outside detection, and asked Akuma Matata directly: "If a battle breaks out, I probably won't be able to save your tribe."
Akuma Matata asked with some confusion: "Can't even the Holy Saint Oranso do it?"
"Its psychic powers are very powerful, and they can be used as flexibly as instincts." Xuan Weizi said: "I guess one of the ways it replenishes its psychic powers is to devour living things. Most of your tribe is now trapped by this giant mushroom.
, soaked in a special liquid sac and in a drowsy state, it should be its backup food."
Wolf asked with curiosity on his face: "Can mushrooms eat animals?"
Theus smiled and said: "Your Green Ring has cultivated trap piranhas. They can spring out from the tree-lined paths to ambush intruders. You don't know?"
Wolf snorted and said, "Who cares what they came up with."
"It's different." Xuan Weizi said: "Ta Valon told me that the piranha is actually a special kind of tree man. Borrowing the theory of soul, the druid modified the physical function of the tree man. But now this giant
A mushroom is more like a forest. Its physical functions are connected with the surrounding carpet environment. It is not easy to kill it.
It has no core organs of life such as a heart and a brain, so it must be destroyed in one go with a powerful magic effect. Otherwise, a little carpet of fungi may be left behind, and it may be able to resurrect. And it came here from deep underground, who knows?
Are there any creep cultivation grounds for it deeper down?”
"Is this thing very powerful?" Theus smiled slyly: "Hey, if this thing falls into the hands of a mage, it might be put into a giant glass bottle and made into a specimen, and two pieces of flesh can be cut off if necessary.
, pan-fried in butter, paired with wine from the southern part of the empire~”
"If it were your previous Arcane Guards, you probably wouldn't know how to lose in a battle with it." Xuan Weizi pointed at Akuma Matata and said, "I searched his memory before, and I couldn't even see clearly.
What is attacking the snow goblin settlement? If it hadn't actively converged its psychic powers, maybe what you saw just now wasn't a giant mushroom at all, but a blurry and distorted strange light and shadow.
And it can replenish its spiritual energy by devouring other creatures. Unless it is destroyed in a short time, its spiritual energy will continue to recover as time goes on."
Theus's face froze, and he remembered that a middle-aged mage once mentioned that psychic powers are not cast by spell slots, but by consuming spiritual energy. There is a difference between spiritual energy and magic power, precisely because of the lack of efficient recovery of magic power.
Only through this method can the mage develop the spell-casting method of spell slots.
"If I can really master psychic powers, can I use my psychic powers to cast arcane spells?" Theus asked.
Xuan Weizi said: "It's too early to think about this now... I don't plan to argue with this Maiang at the moment."
The main reason is that this creature is so strange. Its existence has revealed to Xuan Wei Zi a completely different development direction of psychic powers, instead of just being limited to the brain-based nervous system.
Xuan Weizi even speculated that the reason why this giant mushroom called Myang is related to the group of psychics in the star world is that it has a mental state between "self and no self".
Maiang as a whole cannot be regarded as a swarm consciousness, but it does not have a relatively independent subjective consciousness. Similarly, it should not be able to understand the concept of human beings and humanoid creatures.
The question now is, what are the intentions of the astral psychics who drove Myon here? What do they want to find in the ruins of the ancient giants?
Theus asked: "What should we do now? It said it wants a flexible body. Is it possible for you to transform into one for it?"
"Don't think so mechanically, how about making it flexible?" Xuan Weizi said.
"What do you mean?" Theus asked confused.
Xuan Weizi did not answer, but led everyone back to the cave. After seeing the giant mushroom, he said: "I have a way, but it requires your cooperation. Before that, you must release these snow goblins."
The giant mushroom seemed to be thinking, and after a while he asked: "What are you going to do?"
Xuan Weizi raised his hand and threw it, and the black feather fan fell to the ground and turned into Hengyizi, standing beside him to protect the law. He himself sat cross-legged on the ground, using his spirit and Qi. Under the influence of psychic powers, the glow around him circulated, illuminating the cave.
Dreamy and magnificent.
The giant mushroom shook excitedly, and then the large tumor-like fluid sacs below burst. The snow elves rolled into a ball and rolled down with a strange scream. They were panicked for a while.
"Little cubs, come here, come here!" Akuma Matata quickly waved his hand and took away this large group of snow elves.
Titus and Wolf didn't bother to pay attention to the snow goblins and left as if they were running for their lives. They just paid attention to the situation of Xuan Weizi, and saw that the clouds around him were flickering and flickering, and finally gathered into a group of invisible but clearly perceptible "flames"
.
This invisible flame has extremely huge energy. Theus was frightened when he saw it from a distance. He only noticed a similar aura in a few high-ranking mages who had reached the nine-ring arcane ability. Moreover, Xuan Weizi
The invisible flame is purer, as if even fine gold melts at the touch of it.
At this time, the giant mushroom was trembling non-stop. It was unclear whether it was fear or excitement. In short, the mushroom umbrella continued to expand, almost covering the entire cave.
He saw Heng Yizi take two steps back, and the giant mushroom suddenly swung. The mushroom umbrella was like a big net, and it suddenly turned over to cover Xuan Weizi, swallowing him directly!
Gudong, loud swallowing sounds echoed in the cave.
"Mom - ah -" Theus was so frightened by this scene that goosebumps broke out all over his body, and even Wolf wanted to lift his ax and strike at it.
"Don't worry, gah!" Henmasiko pressed Wolf's shoulders, and at the same time picked up Titus, who was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and shook him.
"Dr. Olenso has been swallowed. Are you not in a hurry at all?" Wolf exerted force and found that he could not break free from Hengzhizi's hand. His shoulders seemed to be embedded in the copper wall and could not move at all.
No.
"How can the doctor, a bird-man, be so strong?" Wolf was secretly surprised.
"Master, if you want to refine the weapon, you'll be fine. Ga——" Heng Mashizi said, then let go of his hand, Tius fell to the ground, and gasped:
"It's scary, it scared me to death. If something like this happens in the future, can you warn me in advance? The scene of a big mushroom eating a living person will have a psychological impact."
Heng Yizi tilted his head: "You guys, stay nearby and don't wander around, gah!"
Wolf rubbed the bulging shoulder muscles and said: "You have said so, Dr. Olenso should be prepared, so you should be careful and don't cause any accidents."
Heng Yizi raised his hand and held it in the air. The big stick of the Mind Blade suddenly came into his hand, with red fire and purple thunder rushing on its surface. He nodded vigorously, and then looked closely at the giant mushroom like a loyal guard.
When Wolf and Theus arrived outside the cave, they saw the snow goblin wizard Akuma Matata chirping, dancing and commanding other snow goblins. After assigning work, they turned around and asked:
"Where is the Holy Saint Oranso? Why did you two grow out with long legs?"
Akuma Matata spoke the indigenous language, and Tius, as a mage stationed in the New World for a long time, naturally knew it well. He replied: "He is busy inside... I don't know what he is doing specifically, but let's not go there anyway."
excuse me."
"I asked the cubs to find food, but I can't take care of you two long-legged ones." Akuma Matata walked away with a proud look on his face.
Titus was so angry that he whispered softly: "You stinking gnome, how dare you look down on me?"
"I advise you not to do anything recklessly." Wolf said as if he was watching a joke: "Doctor Olenso seems to attach great importance to this little thing. If it is killed, the doctor may bury you as fertilizer."
Theus also smiled helplessly: "Of course I know, I accompanied him and helped dissect my colleague."
"Is there such a thing? Tell me."
"Before that, please tell me about Dr. Olenso's previous experiences and stories in Woodpile Town."
…
As far as the eye can see, there is a blue ocean, and there are countless spore groups in the sky, either purple or red, colorful, like floating clouds.
If you lower your head and observe carefully, the so-called "ocean" is actually countless transparent and soft mushrooms like jellyfish, which gather into a vast ocean. As the countless mushrooms swing, the blue ocean forms mighty waves.
"Interesting, is this your spiritual world?"
"This is the realm of thought and union of Mai'ang, and the realm of thought and union is Mai'ang." Between the sea and the sky, countless voices that could not be distinguished as male or female sounded.
Accompanied by the voice, it was explained what the "field of mind union" is - in fact, "mind union" is originally the innate ability of the myconids. By emitting spores, they allow the collective thinking of the group to connect with each other, and can even enter a kind of mind union through mind union.
A special state of shared meditation.
In this state of mindfulness and meditation, the spiritual worlds of the myconids of the same ethnic group will be completely connected, regardless of each other. In the dark underground with a difficult environment, this can get rid of boredom and even completely sublimate the spirit.
And this is how this group of myconids, which calls themselves "Maian", has entered into sublimation. The spiritual world no longer distinguishes between you and me, and even the body is completely integrated, and finally turned into the giant mushroom and the ever-expanding bacteria.
blanket environment.
"You have thought that this state is the best when you give up your form, cut off your ego, and feel the vacuum, right?" Xuan Weizi said with a smile.
The sea and sky were swept by wind and waves, and the dark tide was raging. Xuan Weizi turned a blind eye and continued: "Although I can see Nirvana in the sky, I have not yet reached the ultimate goal. Although my ego is broken, I am still in this mortal world. I have not experienced rebirth, I do not know the wonders of a baby, and I have not crossed the sea of suffering.
Reincarnation cannot understand the mystery of creation."
Although Xuan Weizi said this, he also lamented that all the creatures in this world have their own achievements in seeking enlightenment. The Myangium man actually found a way to realize the emptiness of Buddhism through mindfulness and meditation. Even if there is a slight deviation, he can achieve it.
This level of achievement can be called the superior achievement!
Although Alchemy has incorporated some Buddhist teachings, its foundation is still in Taoism, especially the kung fu knowledge of valuing body and valuing life. Buddhism is far less profound and broad than Taoism. Even though there are some Buddhist traditions that talk about self-cultivation, most of them are neither fish nor fowl in the end.
, and even fall into the trap of evil spirits and heretics.
The reason why Xuan Weizi was swallowed by the giant mushroom was actually to better explore its physical endowments. Because he has been exploring how to recreate the method of refining weapons with real fire in this world recently. And the third step of refining magical weapons is
The first step is actually to find treasures from heaven and earth.
This is because real fire refining tools need to be condensed by real fire through induction of physical properties. If it is just an ordinary mortal object with mixed physical properties and scattered spiritual energy, ordinary induction condensation will not be able to refine it at all. It is like quenching ore by fire. If the ore is of poor quality
, then in the end I’m afraid I’ll be refined to the point where there’s not much left.
The so-called "treasures of heaven, materials and earth" are actually things with pure and condensed natural physical properties. Under the influence of various natural conditions, they seem to be condensed by the power of heaven and earth. People who practice Taoism can more easily sense their physical properties and refine them.
Refining.
There are all kinds of strange magic materials in this world, but it does not mean that they are all treasures of heaven and earth. Xuan Weizi once thought about using the astral body directly, but found that for him, this object is more like the relationship between nails and body, but
Alchemy Shen Qi Kung Fu has extended abilities. Unless one can make a greater breakthrough in Alchemy Kung Fu, with one's current level of cultivation, it is impossible to use the astral body as a weapon refining material.
As for materials like mithril and fine gold, Xuan Weizi found that any material that has been smelted and cast has lost its original pure physical properties and is not suitable for refining magic weapons unless he can find the original veins.
After thinking about it, only the body parts of special creatures may be suitable as materials for refining. Magical beasts like Rosalin are born with strong muscles and bones, and their life characteristics are naturally condensed in the muscles and bones. They can be said to have pure physical properties.
However, Xuan Weizi was not free enough to go around killing magical beasts, peeling skins and cramping muscles to refine weapons. But when he saw the Myangium man, he thought that "The Great Weapon of Heaven and Earth" had an idea about its former "Essence and Wonderful Qi"——
Can living trees be refined into magical weapons without damaging the vitality of the trees? After being refined into magical weapons, can the trees continue to grow and develop, and even eventually become "building trees" that reach the heavens and the earth?
Xuan Weizi did not see the answer to the previous assumptions. The giant mushroom is also a strange "tree". He wanted to verify it personally this time, so he had to have in-depth communication with "Maian".
